Shine Music School Parramatta and Chatswood consistently delivers better results
and more fun for you our students by using advanced teaching techniques and the very best

As a beginner taking drums lessons, students will learn beginner note reading,
beginner drums rhythm and technique. Once a solid technical foundation has been
built, we then explore the different drums genres available to a drums player
like contemporary, rock, pop, metal, classical, Australian Music Examination Board
Exams, musical theatre, jazz, etc.

Students will be able to learn more notes, rhythms and songs in the next few drums
lessons and will learn how to vary the sounds on the drums. Students will find
the beginner stage of the drums fun, just like learning a new language and full
of stories on how their improvement is related to lots of practice and structured
homework.

Intermediates who are looking to advance their playing technique and repertoire
are advised to fill in the above music lesson survey so that we can receive more
information about your current technique, drums lesson history, and your future
goals, exam requirements and performances.

By filling in the above survey we are can ensure we do not waste any time and can
move on to technical development exercises in your first class.

Here's the Most Frequently Asked Questions we receive about the Drum School

Drumming does not require notes because it is a percussive instrument and does not
actually play notes.Drumming rhythms and beats are recorded in tab form. Students
will learn how to read drumming tab and will progress with exercises increasing
in difficulty.

Music examinations are a good tool for students who want to continually improve
their playing and performance ability and to have their playing ability graded on
a recurring basis. Music examinations allow students to grade their performance
ability every six months ( certain instruments ), provides goals for students to
aim for and provides a professional grading system for students. Shine Music School
encourages exams but are not enforced on students. Our primary aim is for students
to have fun exploring their chosen instrument.

Students are only encouraged to attempt examinations when they have attained a certain
level of competence and ability. At Shine Music School, all our teachers are Australian
Music Examinations Board ( AMEB ) , Contemporary Popular Music ( CPM) and Associated
Board of the Royal School of Music ( ABRSM UK) registered and we cater for Jazz,
Rock, Pop and Classical exams for all instruments.

Practicing everyday is the most effective and fastest way of improving your skills
as a musician. If you practice only every now and then, your improvement will be
inconsistent. Even with just 10 minutes every day, you will notice an improvement
week to week. Of course, the longer you practice every day, the better, 30 minutes
is a good goal to aim for, as long as it is everyday!
